Speaking for myself only, I don't think people should add their own
copyright notices in files to which they have not made substantial
changes. A little code motion and a small API adjustment don't seem
like large enough changes to justify this. Some of the other files in
this patch have even smaller changes!

This is a good example. You have contributed _nothing_ to this file --
all you did was _move_ some code to a different file. This hardly
seems to justify adding a copyright notice.

This comment isn't very good. Don't say what bEndpointAddress is
_used_ for, say what it _is_.

In addition, you need to point out in the kerneldoc for usb_ep_enable,
that the gadget driver must set these two fields before calling
usb_ep_enable, and you need to change the comment immediately above,
which states that these fields are read-only to gadget drivers!
